Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100
   
I have noticed lately that all of the educational toys I tend to post tend to be for much younger children; however, the importance of education doesn’t simply go away with age so I picked today’s toy just for parents of older children who have a hunger for knowledge! The Nap Circuits Jr is a set which has received the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, and two Dr. Toy awards for best toy! This set contains more than 30-snap together pieces and builds over 100 different projects that are outlined in an illustrated manual! Each of the projects for this set involve building electrical circuits to complete things such as burglar alarms and doorbells!

The pieces of this electrical set clip together easily and the pictures in the instruction manual are in color to help with ease of assembly. There are no other tools required for this kit other than what is included in the set. The only thing you will need to get aside from the set is 2 AA batteries! This cricuit building set is recommended for children aged 8-12yrs.

You can find variations of this circuit building set at most stores that carry science kits, or else you can take advantage of free shipping and grab one from Amazon.com !

    Learning Resources - Inflatable Insects
       
    Everybody knows that little boys, and even some little girls, love to be grossed out and when it comes to grossing people out bugs are always high on the list! Learning Resources inflatable bugs are a great toy for grossing people out as well as learning from! The Learning Resources bugs come in a variety of different insects including a ladybug, a dragonfly, an ant, a bee and a grasshopper. These bugs all have intricate and beautiful detailing and were designed using insect field guides to make sure that they all measure up to the real life thing (in detail only, goodness knows we don’t want bugs this huge roaming the earth!) The largest insect of

    the insects offered by Learning resources measures 26"L x 29 1/2"W. The Price for the "buy it" on these insects is for the entire set of inflatable insects not just the one so keep that in mind! These bugs not only make great learning tools and toys but they are perfect for decorating a bug themed room as well! The set of inflatable bugs does come with a repair kit just incase one of the bugs gets punctured. The inflatable bugs are recommended for children aged 3yrs and up.

    You can find the set of Learning Resources inflatable insects over at Amazon.com !

      World Map Floor Puzzle, 50 Pieces
         
      As you can tell by now I am a huge fan of educational toys, especially those that teach history and geography. The World Map Floor Puzzle with 50 pieces is a great hands on tool for children to learn more about the world around them, the location of individual countries and oceans as well as geographical and environmental elements. This puzzle includes animals which will keep your animal lovers intrigued as they learn where various animal species originate from. This brightly colored world puzzle comes with a multi-use case that can be used to tote around other toys as well as the puzzle it comes with! The puzzle itself is extremely high quality and has

      great graphics, not those cheap printed puzzles you find in discount stores. The World Map Floor Puzzle is recommended for children ages 3yrs and up and it not only serves as a great way to teach children geography but it’s a great reminder for grown ups too!

      You can find the 50 piece World Map Floor Puzzle over at Amazon.com for just under $18!

        way to encourage chores to be done around the house to earn a little extra money to feed this cute piggy bank!

          Educational Insights Glow-in-the-Dark Solar System

          July 31st, 2008 by admin
          Educational Insights Glow-in-the-Dark Solar System
             
          I have featured numerous solar system toys but the Glow In The Dark Solar System by Educational Insights is one of my favorites simply because it is simple, affordable and most of all educational. For $17.99 you can pick up an Educational Insights Glow-in-the-Dark Solar System. This system is made up of a sun and nine planets which all glow in the dark (some glow with patterns) and each of the planets can be hung from the ceiling with attached hangers. The set also comes with 32 feet of clear plastic line and an instructional guide that not only includes the how to but it also includes various facts about the solar system that your child will love

          learning! The planets from this solar system don’t have to be hung seperately, they can be hung in a three dimensional model! The set includes a 4-1/8" dia sun, 2-3/4" Jupiter, 2" Saturn with removable rings, 15/16" Uranus and Neptune, 13/16" Earth and Venus, and 11/16" Mars, Mercury and Pluto, all with rings at the top to hang them. This set is recommended for children from 6yrs to 10yrs; however, since it’s going to be hung from the ceiling there is no harm in using it in a younger (or older) child’s room as long as it is secured well!

          You can pick up your Glow-in-the-Dark solar system from Amazon.com or any of the other merchants that sell this product via Amazon (you will find Amazon to be the cheapest with free shipping!)
